Regarding the peace plan, I think we will hear details this week. Something that has been on my mind here lately is the fact that the bible says the Antichrist will confirm a covenant. So in my mind, that means not necessarily a deal that he creates but instead one that already exists that he confirms at a later time. It could be that this peace plan by the Trump Administration is indeed the covenant with the many, but may not be confirmed until everything is in place.

Im just unsure of why people on this site seem to think that President Trump will be THE ONE who confirms this covenant. Are we sure this lines up with what scripture tells us regarding the lawless one, the man to come? I am speaking directly about where he reigns from, which is not the USA....so why do we keep discussing this as though our President may be the antichrist? In essence, discussing this as though the USA president will be "THE ONE" who confirms the covenant is exactly saying that he would in fact be the antichrist. Any thoughts on this you guys?

GS I don't like the fact that Trump is pressuring Israel to give up land for peace. Who does he think he is, trying to perminatly change the borders of the land that God himself gave them? Big mistake. And he seems determined.

With that being said, I kind if doubt that Trump will end up being the antichrist, since I've always assumed that the AC would be Jewish. But scripture isn't real clear on that detail or the question of what country AC will come from.

Then again, we can't 100% disqualify Netanyahu or any Israeli leader from being the AC. It takes at least 2 people to agree to a covenant, one on each side, right?

Then there's Jared Kushner who was put in charge of this peace deal, so who knows, it could be him.

Matthew 1:22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophets

Anyways, my intentions of this thread was to be about news and I shouldn't have included my own personal thoughts about anything else. I'm going to edit my post above to keep this from becoming a debate of eschatology.

Peace will be coming to Israel when collectively as a nation they cry out "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord".

Until then, there will be no real peace.

DaveG again you have posted your opinion and started a debate on the eschatology around the available published news.

By simply posting the news of confusion created by the spiritual dominions of the beasts you are in fact presenting an eschatology point of view of what is happening at this present time coming up to the end of this present age.

Making sense of what is really happening is a much harder activity to undertake on our part. However, if we are part of God's/Christ's church, then our focus should be on being a blessing to those we rub shoulders with on a daily basis and not be a member of the "Me centred Church."

Thanx for correcting my typo too

And that is good...didn't want to debate either...was just pointing that one thing out.

I've been reading your updates very regularly......they are very informative and keep us in the know in that regard.

The Wisest men have changed their Counsels and Resolves upon second thoughts, much more upon experience, and approaching evils not at first discovered. Rev. Herbert Croft, 1675
